I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 1917 The smell of conspiracy

Elder Liang, who was standing next to Mu Chuan, was completely stunned at the moment. He stared with wide eyes and carefully observed the pendant on Nia. In an instant, the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably, because the characteristics of the pendant were too obvious. There was no doubt that it was the pendant of the demigod priest. You know, this kind of pendant is not something that anyone can wear casually. It must be blessed by the demigod high priest in person on the altar before it is qualified to be worn. It is absolutely impossible to be fake.

"Since you are a demigod saint, how come you are in his room?" Mu Chuan frowned and asked with a puzzled look. His eyes were full of scrutiny and confusion, trying to find the answer from Nia's expression.

"Our Dan Sect has always had close trade relations with the Demigods. What's wrong with the Demigod Saint coming to discuss this matter with me on behalf of the Demigods?" Liu Jun said slowly with a faint smile on his face.

Although this reason sounds a little far-fetched and even a little confusing, but if you think about it carefully, it seems to make sense. For a moment, Mu Chuan really couldn't find any words to refute it.

"Let's make a deal. I'll take this woman away, and you'll give me 30 million divine coins, and this matter will end." Liu Jun continued, his eyes revealing a hint of eagerness and greed.

"Do you think I'm a fool?" Mu Chuan's face suddenly darkened, his voice low and full of anger, as if it would explode at any time.

"No, you can also choose to send this saint back to the demigods yourself, and explain to the high priest why you should help the demigods' saint." Liu Jun looked like he didn't care, you can do whatever you want.

The atmosphere at the scene seemed to freeze, weird and awkward. Mu Chuan originally thought that by tying up Liu Jun's woman here, he would be able to take the initiative in the negotiation process and force Liu Jun to hand over the crucial Ice God Core.

However, things did not go as he wished, and he had tied up a hot potato this time. Now, the initiative was not in his hands, but fell into Liu Jun's hands. Liu Jun's words made it clear that the kidnapping of the saint was a serious matter. If it was not handled properly, the demigods might become the strong enemy of the Ice Palace. By then, even if Mu Chuan was of noble status and the young master of the Ice Palace, the high-level officials of the Ice Palace would hold him accountable and demand a satisfactory explanation.

Mu Chuan clenched his teeth, his facial muscles trembling slightly, and finally he could not help but speak: "Okay, I'll give you 30 million, and this matter ends here. You can't use this to provoke the demigods to oppose our Ice Palace!" There was a bit of unwillingness and anger in his words.

In fact, these 30 million divine coins were nothing to Mu Chuan. The Ice Palace was rich, and this loss was not even a drop in the bucket. But Mu Chuan felt extremely aggrieved. He worked so hard, but not only did he not get what he wanted, but he had to pay 30 million divine coins. This feeling made him feel very tormented.

When Liu Jun heard Mu Chuan's answer, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. He knew that he had the upper hand in this negotiation. However, his expression remained calm, as if all this was within his expectations.

"This is a full 30 million divine currency banknotes!" Elder Liang widened his eyes, took a deep breath, walked forward with a serious expression, and handed the thick stack of divine currency banknotes respectfully to Liu Jun.

"Ice Palace is always generous, and Boss Muchuan is even more magnanimous!" As soon as Liu Jun received the money, his face instantly changed to a fawning one, with a big smile on his face, and he said happily.

"Well, Nia, let's go back." Liu Jun called out with a beaming face while holding the stack of divine currency bills tightly in his hand.

Nia stood up slowly, followed Liu Jun silently and prepared to go out.

"Wait a minute, Liu Jun, you're not going to let my people go?" Mu Chuan's face was still terribly gloomy, and there was suppressed anger in his voice.

"Who do you want to release? People from the Ice Palace? I don't have any of them! I only have a few thieves who were bold enough to break into private houses. Do you want them? Then you have to give me money. A full 10 million Divine Coins were stolen from me!" Liu Jun turned his head nonchalantly and said sarcastically.

"Didn't I just give you 30 million?" Mu Chuan's eyes were wide open, and they seemed to be able to spit out raging fire. He clenched his fists tightly, and the veins on the back of his hands were like winding earthworms. The veins on his forehead were even more bulging, as if they were about to break through the restraints of the skin. At this moment, he resisted the urge to punch Liu Jun hard. The anger was burning in his heart, but it was suppressed by reason.

"Boss Mu Chuan is being unreasonable. The 30 million is for settling the matter of you kidnapping the demigod saint, and the 10 million is for the loss of my stolen property. Can it be included in the 30 million?" Liu Jun slowly turned his head, his face full of helplessness, and he sighed heavily. There was a trace of grievance in his eyes, and he seemed to be extremely dissatisfied with Mu Chuan's attitude.

The students in the room next to him were all trying to hold back their laughter. The acting skills of this headmaster Liu Junliu were really amazing. People who didn't know him would think that he had suffered a great injustice. "Give it to him!" Mu Chuan yelled hysterically at Elder Liang next to him. The sound was like thunder, exploding in the air, making the ears of the people around him buzz.

Elder Liang was frightened by the sudden roar. His body trembled violently, and a look of horror appeared on his face. It was also the first time he saw his young master so angry. In his memory, their young master had always been well-educated, polite and gentle under the careful education of the seniors in the Ice Palace. Although he had a cold personality and was difficult to get close to, he never got angry easily and always maintained his composure and calmness.

Elder Liang walked up quickly with hurried steps and carefully handed a small stack of thick divine currency banknotes to Liu Jun.

"Suanzi, take it. This is the class fee for our practical class." Liu Jun stood there with a calm expression. He did not reach out to take it. Instead, he turned his head and loudly called Qiu Suanzi, one of the students in the room, to come forward.

"Okay!" Qiu Suanzi responded excitedly, with a look of surprise on his face. When he saw so many divine coins, his eyes widened in disbelief. Although his family background was quite extraordinary and his family was rich, it was the first time he had seen so much money in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement in his heart.

"Let them go and hand these petty thieves over to Boss Muchuan." Liu Jun waved his hand casually, his tone relaxed and decisive.

The students in the room heard Liu Jun's instructions and immediately took action to quickly untie the tied-up men in black. At this moment, their faces were also filled with happy smiles. Just now, Liu Jun had clearly stated that this huge ransom would be counted as the cost of their practical class. When they thought about the wonderful life they would enjoy along the way, they couldn't help but imagine all kinds of beautiful scenes in their minds.

"Whoosh!"

Just when the students in the room were completely immersed in that beautiful fantasy, a cold light flew past at a high speed like a meteor. Its speed was so fast that it was jaw-dropping. Even Liu Jun, who was usually quick-witted, did not have time to react.

"puff!"

This ray of cold light pierced Qiu Suanzi's chest with incredible accuracy, with only a small section of the arrow tail exposed outside.

Qiu Suanzi only had time to glance down before his whole body fell forward like a felled tree.

This sudden change made everyone present stunned instantly, and they were dumbfounded. Including Liu Jun, who was full of disbelief, thinking to himself, this guy's Ice Palace is really a piece of shit! Just after the transaction, he used such a sinister method? And the problem is that this demigod saint is still here!
"Suanzi, Suanzi!" The anxious shouts echoed in the air. The students in the room next to him suddenly became nervous and quickly supported Qiu Suanzi who was shot by an arrow. Qiu Suanzi was pale, sweating, and blood was gushing out of the wound. Liu Jun reacted even faster. He took out a bottle of precious potion from his arms without hesitation and carefully poured it into Qiu Suanzi's mouth. At the same time, his skilled hands quickly pressed on Qiu Suanzi's body several times, and when the time was right, he suddenly pulled out the arrow that was deeply embedded in his body.

The students in the other rooms were not panicking at all. They had been well-trained and formed a tight defensive formation at the first opportunity. Everyone's eyes were full of vigilance, staring at the people around them as if they were facing a great enemy, not missing any slight movement.

"Muchuan, you guys in the Ice Palace are so sinister!" Liu Jun was furious. He tightly grasped the bow and arrow from the Ice Palace, swung his arm vigorously, and threw it fiercely at the Ice Palace's young master Muchuan. The fierce momentum seemed to pass on the anger in his heart.

Elder Liang flashed and caught the arrow at a very fast speed. He had sharp eyes and recognized it at a glance without even looking carefully. It was the standard bow and arrow of their Ice Palace. But the current situation made him confused. All the Ice Palace guards they brought with them on this trip were gathered here, and those who were ambushing around were clearly people from Dark Cloud City. So, how could these people from Dark Cloud City have the standard bow and arrow of the Ice Palace?

Mu Chuan's face was extremely ugly at this time, and his expression was full of solemnity and resentment. He never thought that there was such an unfathomable conspiracy hidden in it. All the people he brought with him on this trip gathered here, and the bow and arrow used exclusively by the Ice Palace was shot from not far away and accurately hit the Dan Sect disciple. Obviously, there must be someone behind this who wanted to provoke a war between them and the Dan Sect!

But at that moment, even if he tried his best to explain, the other party might not believe a single word he said.

His brows were furrowed, his brain was working rapidly, and he was racking his brains to think about the next response strategy. At this moment, suddenly several Ice Palace standard arrows, like wild horses, flew towards Liu Jun and others. However, this time, Liu Jun and others had already made preparations in advance, and they were ready, with vigilance and alertness in their eyes. The moment the arrows came, they knocked the arrows away.
